Project Name

H3RU Home Control System

Description

This project is a system developed to provide security and automation at home using NVIDIA Jetson Nano and Arduino. The system integrates various cameras and provides control of the garage and entrance door through a web interface. Users can open the door via the web, receive doorbell notifications, and engage in voice communication.

Features

• Web Control Interface:

  • Control garage and entrance door through a web dashboard.
  • Real-time camera feeds accessible via the web.

• Doorbell Integration:

  • Receive doorbell notifications on the web interface.
  • Play custom doorbell sounds when triggered.

• Voice Communication:

  • Two-way voice communication through the web interface.

• 3 Camera Support:

  • Camera monitoring the garage exterior.
  • Camera monitoring the garage interior.
  • Camera monitoring the entrance.

• Personalized Messages: Displays personalized greeting messages for each user on the LCD screen.

Hardware Requirements

• NVIDIA Jetson Nano
• Arduino (UNO or Mega)
• 4x3 Keypad (I created a button circuit that includes a common GND connection line that I created myself.)
• 3 USB Cameras
• Ethernet Cable or Wi-Fi Module
• 16x2 LCD Screen
• Doorbell Button
• Speaker or Audio Output Device

Software Requirements

• Python 3
• FastAPI (web framework)
• Uvicorn (ASGI server)
• OpenCV (for image processing)
• PySerial (for serial communication)
• Jinja2 (templating engine)
• Arduino IDE

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/SentryCoderDev/H3RU-Home_Control_System.git
   cd H3RU-Home_Control_System

2. Install Python Dependencies

   Install the required Python packages using the requirements.txt file:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Generate a Self-Signed SSL Certificate

   The application uses secure WebSockets and requires SSL certificates. Generate a self-signed SSL certificate:

   openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem

   Follow the prompts to enter the required information.

4. Set Up Arduino

   • Install the Arduino IDE.
   • Connect the Arduino to your computer.
   • Open the Arduino sketch at /arduino/arduino_code/arduino_code.ino.
   • Upload the code to your Arduino board.
   • Ensure all hardware components are properly connected.

5. Run the Application

   Start the FastAPI application using Uvicorn with SSL:

   uvicorn app:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8001 --ssl-certfile=cert.pem --ssl-keyfile=key.pem

6. Access the Web Interface

   Open your web browser and navigate to:

   https://<JetsonNano_IP>:8001/
   

   Replace <JetsonNano_IP> with the IP address of your Jetson Nano.

   Note: Since we're using a self-signed certificate, your browser may warn you about an insecure connection. You can proceed by accepting the risk and continuing to the site.
